And we think that the only way out is by endless striving and thinking. <br><br>But this profound healer and spiritual master shows us another way. <i>The Heart of the Enlightened</i>, the sequel to the highly successful <i>Taking Flight</i>, contains more than two hundred of de Mello's favorite stories.

They touch on relationships, human nature, service, spirituality, and enlightenment. These are stories to be read slowly and savored.

Although derived from a variety of countries and cultures, these tales share the spiritual heritage and popular humor of the entire human race. As he does so skillfully in his other books, de Mello uses the medium of the story to enable his readers to work through their problems and arrive at essential Truth. With each seemingly simple anecdote comes a lesson powerful enough to break down barriers that limit self-understanding -- which in turn fosters a better understanding of others, in all situations in life. "Even if you read the stories in this book only for the entertainment," he warns, "there is no guarantee that an occasional story will not slip through your defenses and explode when you least expect it to."<br><br><i>Taking Flight</i> offers a joyful, transcendental experience.

But what if there really was a respected Christian sister in the community to whom John entrusted his epistle? What might have been this woman's life story? What might she remember of the apostle "whom Jesus loved"? Thom Lemmons's biblically based fiction -- third in his popular Daughters of Faith series -- recounts what life might have been like for this woman, whom he envisions as a young Nubian mother. In his dynamic portrait of "Amanis," we become eyewitnesses of the last days of the apostolic era, gleaning insights into our own ways of dealing with monumental change within the church and society today.<br><br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i></p><br clear="all">http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=97803077807682011-05-11T00:30:00-05:00Jewish Meditation by Aryeh Kaplanwww.randomhouse.com<a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307761118"><img align="right" src="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/catalog_cover.pperl?9780307761118" border="1"/></a><h3><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307761118">Jewish Meditation</a> A Practical Guide<br/><b>Written by</b> <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=15048">Aryeh Kaplan</a></h3><b>eBook</b>, 176 pages | Schocken | Religion - Meditations | <b>$13.99</b> | 978-0-307-76111-8 (0-307-76111-8)<p><p>Students of mediation are usually surprised to discover that a Jewish mediation tradition exists and that it was an authentic and integral part of mainstream Judaism until the eighteenth century.<br>&#160;<br><i>Jewish Meditation </i>is a step-by-step introduction to meditation and the Jewish practice of meditation in particular.
